nihongo|"Wander Donkey"|ウァンダドンキー|Wanda Donkī| is a graphic adventure game for the Nintendo DS. It was originally announced on February 21, 2007 as Wander Donkey DS. [cite web | year=2007 | title=Nintendo DS 2007 Lineup | url=http://www.gamingevolution.info/view.php?id=3614 | work= [http://www.gamingevolution.com/ Gaming Evolution] | accessdate=May 08 | accessyear=2007] The game's release date is officially TBA, but the title is rumored to emerge in 2008.

The game takes place in the fictional city of Dhairam, a small oasis in the middle of an unspecified desert somewhere around the year 995. The game's protagonist is Wander, a donkey who is in search of his true parentage after being exiled from Dhairam once his lineage comes into question by the village elder Tala. On his journeys throughout the desert and surrounding territories, Wander begins to discover the odd mystery of his missing history and seeks to help other people he encounters along the way.

Gameplay

Though details are scarce, the gameplay appears to be based on previous Nintendo DS graphic adventure titles like "Trace Memory". The player, who controls Wander, traverses the game's various environments through use of the touch screen, microphone, and standard buttons.

Throughout the game, the player must speak with assorted desert animals and kind-hearted citizens in an attempt to divine information. On many occasions the characters will have specific problems that Wander, being a kind-hearted donkey, will need to assist them with. These are reported to include a series of smaller mini-games, like helping an elderly woman fill her water buckets from the oasis, or assisting animals with finding food or shelter. Depending on the player's actions, the character being assisted can either benefit positively or negatively, which has a bearing on how the story will play out. Not every "correct" choice advances the storyline, nor does every "incorrect" choice.

Characters

*Wander:A donkey who lives in the desert city of Dhairam, Wander frequently conducts services for the city like fetching water and assisting in the desert farming of Dhairam. Once the city's elder discovers that his lineage does not permit him to remain in the city (which is restricted only to animals of royal ancestry), Wander is exiled and forced to investigate his own past.

*Tala:The Dhairam village elder who has been leading the city for hundreds of years, presumably due to his "divine kinship" [cite web | year=2007 | title=True Gaming Forums | url=http://www.true-gaming.net/boards//archive/index.php/index.php?t-139.html | work= [http://www.true-gaming.net/ True Gaming] | accessdate=April 20 | accessyear=2007] with the residents of the village. He initially starts Wander's quest for his past by exiling him from the village.
